She Said

Poem by: Piet Mashele 
                    2sides

Title: she said....

She directly said, protect me 
Like how wetly you get for your Bentley
Hold me so gently
For when you accept me
It will exactly be about 
How you met me...
And she said let me 
Let the blessed me 
Empty the belly of your worries
So do not be in a hurry 
To sing to how sexy I'm 
Especially when you 
Expect me not to be attached 
To this strange feeling 
That fairly kept me 
On my toes 
For this heart knows how to bulldoze 
These shadows that are there to slow down 
My heart beat
My blood knows its own flows 
It allows me to grow to another direction 
With total perfection
She sat and said...
Let me grow inside of you 
So that when u breath for both us 
You will know that I said let m be yours 
So she said...

MY ADDICTION YOU ARE AN ILLUSION THAT IS TO DEFUSE HOW IM SUPPOSED TO REACT WHEN I FEEL THE NEED TO HAVE MORE OF YOU.

Useless

Well if a title is Useless, maybe we use it less bearing in mind how short we have sold these Titles and what they mean to us....
If I use less of my thoughts maybe I wouldn't have messed with how things are expected to be, whether there is a limit to everything or that life ends at sometime so does mean its all useless to live up to what we uphold most? is it useless to even think about how useful it is to think about how we use less of our power to seek endless possibilities that are accompanied by desire, greed and what we most feel comfortable with!!!!!!
Is it really useless to think about wealth while it worries us before we even have it because even those who have it worry a lot about it! All these titles are useless when we can't find eternity in them, my title is used less because there is a lot I can do but am useless to situations that comes seeking my understanding because I can not accept poverty as a title because it is a useless feeling that will live you powerless and let those who laugh to lean on your mistakes, because your kindness is seen through wealth. will it be pointless to point out how useless it is to have so many titles to different situation or behavior? to have that sense of belonging.....because I belong with those who sing the song that doesn't see fault with what I don't have because if it was up to my thoughts , I wouldn't have fought this hard with myself to always  strive for the best because the knife that will end it all , I don't know which direction its going come but it is useless not to think I can not use the little less power I have to test this entry post that is titled useless

Tshwane Hey Pretoria Why

Tshwane WHY?

Tshwane residents act right, you are not presidents....
its by default i utter the norms and values of a black community
we are presidents in our own thoughts but we fail to rule our own homes
its by accident that i step into thoughts that search those who are at fault.
the indecency that walks with us remains the same when we fancy things that don't belong to us,
God have mercy on us  for we don't know what is it that poverty is doing to us.
i privately seek your help in your name , i create awareness to the blackness of their wilderness that has nothing to do with your pureness of your glory!!!
i'm black not because of situations that needs decorations.... but to what extend are we going to be blinded by blunders of those who don't know your law...OH LORD  know me now and forever more because this foreign feeling  sits me down to undo what they are doing
NO MAYOR can make you feel good about yourself or make you a better person
do we drink from the blood that is shared unnecessary? because if that is the case lets kill each other now because we don't value life and each other.....

What Is This Song I So Wish To Sing

Sing me a song
because if i were to feel like a tree in winter 
it meant i had to be strong
Sing me that song
that will sit me down and listen like a king
Sing that song 
that got ALI dancing not only to anticipate punches but to know how to win fights
Sing me a song
that will prolong our time so we could appreciate each other
Sing me that song
that started in 1974 to 1976
that said "come and see the troubles of Africa"
if this is the song why does it feel so wrong not to sing it?
Sing me a song 
that will rule young minds not to be tools to situations
Sing a song with tunes
that are true so that we could pursue our dreams to the fullest
Sing me a song of faith 
for i lean on the peace that Israel seek
Sing me a song 
that doesn't know my weakness
because my greatness is yet to come
if we are going to sing this song
let it be the one that suggest
we are a nation that knows its relations
Sing me a song 
that discourages individual thinking 
because we need to think for three generations to come
sing this song  
to those who want to hear it
because this song knows no genres
and its journey only needs us to listen

I Wish

I WISH....
I WISH MY TEARS COULD GIVE RIVERS A JOY OF RUNING WATER
FOR I FEAR TO CALL ON , CRAWL DOWN TO THE SAME CRY....
BECAUSE THESE WISHES NEEDS TO FALL, NOT ONLY TO WALK 
AWAY PEER PRESSURE BUT TO BRING ME CLOSER TO PEACE.
THE WAR THAT MY EYES SEEKS IS USUALLY FOUGHT WITH 
MONSTERS WHO DONT EASILY FALL, BUT THEY ARE BOUGHT 
UNDER THIS THOUGHT 'MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND'
I CONFIRM MY STATE OF MIND AND I STAND MY GROUND BECAUSE
I DO NOT WANT TO LOOK AT THE EYES OF MEN WITH PITY,
BECAUSE THE SOUND 'SUCCESS' IS NEAR SO DO NOT FEAR 
AS NO ONE KNOWS OR HAS THE SCALE TO MEASURE SUCCESS....
I WISH I COULD WISH FOR THIS WISH TO COME TRUE.....

Thursday Night, Ladies Night

#TreeHouseInUse stories
  #ThursdayNightLadies Night 

Today is Thursday and no foul play is reported yet,
We having a greenway all the way?
Hell yeah!!! It's a good day, there is no way you can not obey,
When we applaud the kings of reggae  this way..
Ok, know when we explain it all to you, that this is to say 
When they make it be about rolling in the hay it means somebody has to pay
Never misplace this thought, keep it contained for decades 
Becuase it will be a disgrace if we keep this debate for long
For when we parade these mermaids, understand the mandate  thats when we say blue tick ?
Its a checkmate 
And named the first aid kid of the night 
So Mr Deejay.... it's  only  on you now!! Mr Deejay how you bring me these drinking songs will perfectly unlock the ding dong that keeps us going, going and going for more??
Doing the sidewalk dance that makes so much sense, now that is getting late????
You can't be everywhere because we are all on sherperds good and bad clock 
Hahahaha?? when its o' clock you better not, be in a hurry for that baby talk because when you in Bangkok and labelled as the preferred stock 
It only means one thing

Getting the Get

Poem by: Piet Mashele 
                  2sides

Titled : getting the get 

This is the same mindset that has to be on! for a couple of days,
If you in your head its a hustle and it hurts you to wake up with a smile then Sir pony boy the bank will settle your print outs with exactly! what you give out! 

Sigh of relief is to get fired up and down
So that when they clear their throats! they know ,you were only getting the get across.

Touchdown

Poem by :Piet Mphahlele Mashele 
                  2sides

Titled: Touchdown

Touch down, keep in touch 
Calm down to this feeling 
Call down all that you are....
For when your life its on 
Count down 
You can know what to write down...

Touch down on the spot 
This thought has bought me 
Under this jackpot feeling
Am kneeling on my kneez
Stealing this last squeezed broadcast 
Weather forecast 
To put all these thoughts at ease 
Because those who are harassed by it
Are glassed very fast under wonder 

Touchdown 
Down town 
Crowns are given 
To those who slay better
And it boils down to how clowns 
Can turn coldness nights 
Into.....touch down snapshot we appeal to....
Its touchdown before sundown 
Make your mark..
